Something obviously changed though, what games are these? Are they
DirectX games or OpenGL? Did you run dxdiag.exe and go through the
tests?

What can often cause this is the use of an animated pointer, make sure
you use the default in Windows and no pointer shadow if the option is
available, what mouse are you using and does it require specific
drivers and/or software?
